Joel Osteen: Origins & Errors of His Teaching (1/5)

[JosephChaparroNY]

Wow...great job with video. It's sooo true! I hope many can see the light! Now David Wilkerson, he was an amazing preacher!

[urfacestinks]

allowing God to arrange things into your FAVOR??? YOUR FAVOR?? his teaching is totally unbiblical :/

[lilrat489]

good video, many people have failed to see that God is the true good. this is what I have discovered in my walk with God. Christ is the solution to all of our problems. "I am the living water, those that drink from me will never be thirsty again". to clarify a few things, are you saying that it isn't good to set goals in ones life?

[obikelaulbai]

@lilrat489 it is good, but you must not go ahead of God completing the goals yourself. Like Abraham and Sarah when they went ahead of God to have a child. We must first go to God (being dependent upon Him and believing that because of Him You can do All things, and it does say that in Philippians 4:13.) It's important that the Holy Spirit is in control otherwise your goals would be of the flesh (self seeking). Then ask God, God will surely answer you. He says if you ask.... according to His will

[obikelaulbai]

@lilrat489 He will let you know and from there you can get started :) I just started my weightloss plan, all because Jesus helped me

[obikelaulbai]

I'm just so confused right now. It's all new to me. but Keith yes I'm glad you have shared this to everyone. I see so many people arguing, I strongly believe lets all not try to be attorneys for Jesus but witnesses. And forget arguing. Let's just pray more for Joel himself, and many of them out there believing false teachers.

[KeithTruth]

@obikelaulbai Arguing for the sake of arguing is not a good thing, true. But as Christians we are commanded to contend earnestly for our faith which is delivered once for all to us by Jesus and the apostles and defend the faith (Jude 1:3; 1 Peter 3:15). That means if someone is teaching untruths we are ordered, out of love for others, to show what Jesus really taught. We are expected to reprove, rebuke, correct and exhort false teachers/teachings (2 Timothy 4:2)

[obikelaulbai]

@KeithTruth Keith Truth you are telling the Truth haha..:D Thank again

[obikelaulbai]

OK right now I don't want to care it's just so much to think, yet God says we should be watchful for false teacher out there. I thought all along that Joel was saying those things like for ex: speaking words over your future because Christ is in you. And Because Christ is in you, you have authority and power. But he hardly mentions that, or much about God, salvation, redemption, and sin. I am still learning, I'm not trying to judge or say anything bad about your video, it's great.

[KeithTruth]

@obikelaulbai In his system Jesus is like a footnote or side issue to satisfy those who will ask why his teachings are so unbiblical and not found in early church history. He doesn't teach, that, because Christ is in us we have authority and power. He teaches that our mere words or thoughts have power in and of themselves to create our own reality/possessions. In the full film I quote him saying "have pride in your possessions" Something 1 John 2:15-17 says not to have

[obikelaulbai]

@KeithTruth oh I see now. Thank You brother

[Ikeballou]

help themselves.. And by thinking positive, showing gratitude towards things you already have and continuing to make sure your actions line up with your dreams/goals while relying on God's help & admittance that you need him. I don't really see a problem with the "law of attraction" the problem becomes when people remove God out of their lives and try to do things on their own, which is why I said. It's a balance between the two. I welcome any respectful opinions!!

[KeithTruth]

@Ikeballou Well the answer as to why Osteen is teaching error is in this film. Please watch the whole thing. Thanks.

[Ikeballou]

For what it's worth I think it's a balance between the two. I've done research and watched documentaries about the law of attraction and I continue to grow with my relationship with God. The bible talks about how life and death is in the power of the tongue right? So why is it so wrong to believe that with positive thoughts you can change your outcome?? Now before you all jump down my throats, I know you need God to get through life He's your support. But I'm also saying God helps those that

[Rylucero]

Woe unto you false teachers, prophets and prophetesses, the scriptures speak to your arrogance, to you who are shameless, to you who are impudent, “The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God, God is not in all his thoughts. Psalm 10:4 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: Mark 7:22 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 1 Timothy 3:6

[Rylucero]

Woe unto you false teachers, prophets and prophetesses, the scriptures speak to your deceitfulness, to your vain transgressions, to you who are nothing more than devilish snakes, filled with hellish devious intentions, mischievous rats who with chase after infernal desires, “For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.” 2 Peter 2:18

[Rylucero]

Woe unto you false teachers, prophets and prophetesses, the scriptures speak to you who are brazen, you who are without remorse, you who are malicious, you who are heinous, dogs who mislead many with your insatiable appetite for perversity, you sons and daughters of disobedience, “And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.” Ezekiel 22:28

[Rylucero]

Woe unto you false teachers, prophets and prophetesses, the scriptures speak to you filthy pigs, you who wallow in a mire of deceit and shame, you hell bound liars, wicked tempters and evil temptresses who with your cursed tongues spew lies, “For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd.” Zechariah 10:2

[Rylucero]

Woe unto you false teachers, prophets and prophetesses, the scriptures speak to you horrid dogs who hold perverse convictions, “And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD” Ezekiel 13:9

[dublinkittykat]

Osteen is open .. why don't you show YOUR face Keith ?

[dublinkittykat]

wow .. this is soooo judgemental ..and no respect given to the man whatsoever. .. you are scary

[Rylucero]

Woe unto you false teachers, prophets and prophetesses, the scriptures speak to your lying divinations, “They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word. Ezekiel Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end. Ezekiel 21:29

[dublinkittykat]

@Rylucero open your mind .. you might learn something about true faith

[Rylucero]

@dublinkittykat You lack understanding regarding what true faith is, what true faith is not is to be earthly minded, to be a lover of self, for only spiritually dead fools seek after such things. “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us, for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11 “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” James 4:4

[Rylucero]

Woe unto you false teachers, prophets and prophetesses, the scriptures speak to your hubris O vain ones, “O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.” Jeremiah 16:19 They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. Jeremiah 51:18

[Rylucero]

Woe unto you false teachers, prophets and prophetesses, the scriptures speak to spiritually dead fools who trust not in God but in their own iniquities, “Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; Isaiah 58:9 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.” Jeremiah 10:15

[MsFullheart]

maybe its his best life now raking in all the money and having such popularity so he can speak for himself!

[chrisvaldes1]

very new age philosphical teachings that joel olsteen has towards the church and the masses that watch him on tv keeping them blind and decieved by unsound doctrine 1 galatians 1:6 speaks on those who perverse the gospel with false teachings a lying ministry ministered by satan becareful this is why society is duped for corruption and sin keeps on being sown more and more as we had been brainwash and mislead as a nation not teachnig the very essence of truth which comes from the word of God

[MsHannelore]

He is FALSE teacher. I heard Paul Washer once say that the people in his congregation were not deceived but going to Osteens church because that is what they want to hear. May we all tests these spirits that are leading people away from God. Osteen isent even close to being a christian.

[euphemismidiot]

I wonder why nobody from his congregation actually refer back to the Bible to see if what he says is actually Biblical.

[randyjsing]

It's ironic how Joel Osteen cannot acknowledge the very words of Jesus who said "I am the way, the truth and the life; NO MAN comes unto the Father but by me." John 14:6. Joel says that it's not for him to say whether faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to God, yet interestingly enough, he has NO PROBLEM telling thousands upon thousands of people how they SHOULD live. Isn't this plain to those who are followers of Christ? He is doing this all under the name of Christianity...without Christ.

[rogofam]

He is a motivational speaker that teaches how to be self serving. Jesus taught us: Luke 17:33

"Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it." Joel preaches how to be victorious in your finances and health by becoming like God. Sound familiar? Satan tempted man with the same type of thing in the Garden of Eden. He says God did it, so we can do it. We can become powerful like God! WRONG! Very dangerous and wrongly focused.

[enlightenedtruth]

Awesome documentary, I watched this about 2 months ago If I remember correctly, and now we got a christian sister who thinks joel Is authentic, definitely sending her this documentary. Well done.

[KingB2K8]

What's that old saying? The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Joel can squeeze out some crocodile tears when he's attacked and people feel sorry for him. Don't care how nice he is, if he's teaching unbiblical doctrine, we need to stay away from it.

[cvanniek1]

Thank you so much for these videos. It has open up so many false teaching taught by so many "big" evangelists. I am sharing with everybody I know. My responsibility to share, their responsibility to act. God bless

[KingB2K8]

This is a cheesy example but it fits....we can't always trust "a good guy.'

Osteen reminds me of the "good guy" Chucky doll from the 80s. Remember that? It looked all sweet and innocent to Andy at first, but we all know what happened afterwards. Osteen seems like a nice guy and all, but teachings are destructive and unbiblical. No biblical foundation for this stuff. I'm glad I got out of this in time. I hope the rest of my family will though.

[MsRld1]

Thanks for this video. I used to listen to Joel Osteen and believe in his teachings. But The Lord started showing me his error. So many are calling for him to repent and quit teaching these false satanic doctrines! I posted a few little expose videos on him and got criticized by a few of his followers. Christianity is not all about us, it is about Christ and the sacrifice he made for us. I agree with what you said at the end about people need to be true to themselves and just be New Agers!

[ConspiracyJim]

When I was an unbeliever I used to watch Joel Osteen's program. It's possible that God used this program to introduce me to Christianity, but I don't really think so. My point though, is that I used to believe I was right with God when I watched his program. He made me comfortable in my sin and never brought conviction on me to convert and trust in Jesus. His program is not meant for Christians and salvation. He admitted as much on Larry King Live and 60 Minutes.

[zzzzzzzz0zzzzzzzz]

Amen! seems to be all about wealth = spirituality these days..

God Bless.

[actionj316]

Friends no need to fight. There is no right or wrong way to "help"; start,build, or lift up you're bro. And sisters reltionship with God.

NO ONE in this world is suppossed to judge. Mr Osteen may com short in oveall teachings, but he is supposed to. He is only human. He is still learning.

[KeithTruth]

@actionj316 So having seen that his thought power or law of attraction teachings don't come from Scripture but from new age occultists of the 1800's, that's okay? Or having learned he doesn't teach about hell or sin when the Bible says you need to know about these things to be saved from them? Or him teaching people to have pride in their possessions when the Bible says not to? That stuff's not right or wrong right? If no one should judge explain 1 Corithians 2:15 please-did you watch the film?

[LogosTheos]

@KeithTruth, Don't be fooled by that smile of his LoL!

[NewDago]

@KeithTruth I can actually answer that question to you brother. The only one that should judge in this world is him. Now in order for you to understand this concept it is critical that you know there is a difference between judging and speaking the truth as well as exhorting. First of all 1 Corinthians 2:15 is talking about God himself, when he lives in me, he is the one that does the judging. No body can judge God, therefor when i say the Holy spirit lives in me, I am not judging rather him.

[NewDago]

@KeithTruth Let me draw a picture in your mind; you are just bringing the judge to that person, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you are judging. That's why Jesus tells us to use the right judgement, because using my judgement means that I AM JUDGING the person. When i use the right judgement, THE WORD OF GOD COMFRONTS the person therefor i never judged him or her. Proving the false spirits as said in 1John4:1 means you are using the word of God to confront these false prophets.

[NewDago]

@KeithTruth I am not saying we should not say anything about Mr. Osteen, if he is not speaking accordingly to the bible and he calls himself a follower of God then it is necessary to do so as for the word itself tells us to watch out for these people. Just take in mind that you are not the one judging when you use the word of God. Rather the bible confronts them and that's what makes the person think you're juding them. Hope i explained myself well :) but don't worry I know what you were saying.

[KeithTruth]

@NewDago Christians are commanded to judge in certain situations as well as point out that the word condemns and judges people. It is not either or. See 1 Corinthians 2:15, John 7:24, 2 Timothy. 4:2, Titus 2:15. What is condemned is unrighteous or hypocritical judgement when you're guilty of the exact same thing you're condemning.

[NewDago]

@KeithTruth Again 1Corinthians2:15 refers to God's spirit living in me meaning is him who judges not I. And if you recall on my previous comments, exhorting is not judging. Exhorting goes by far way different from condemning or judging, it is a way of helping your brother in Christ telling them in love what they are doing is not according to what it is written. If you read Romans 15:14 it tells us that only if you're full of goodness, and knowledge then you can exhort your brother in love.

[jebeja]

@KeithTruth, But sadly that's the "problem" here Keith, too many it seems would rather believe satan's and their own 'lies' than to stand for God/Jesus' truth, NO MATTER WHAT.

[jebeja]

@actionj316, "There is no right or wrong way to "help", etc., is that what "The Bible says"? Also, PLEASE read ALL scriptures verses on "judging" to see where Osteen fits in God's economy of 'Biblical truth'??????

[xchampx]

Paul Washer: "You say judge not lest ye be judged? I say twist not scripture lest ye be satan."

[T211274]

I explained this to my mother, who follows Osteen's teachings, and she came up with this verse from the Bible: "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you."(John 15:7)......She really thinks this means, we can ask anything from God, we will get it.

[KeithTruth]

@T211274 The context is about asking to be able to bear good fruit (sanctification) or for God's will to be done in our lives with respect to holiness. Its not about asking for temporal carnal things. See the context John 15:2-10. I'm sure you knew but for others reading the comments.

[T211274]

Very good video Keith! God bless you and your work! :)

[psycofloyd]

Thank you for this Keith, I am using your doc to witness to someone close to me who is blinded by this man and his teachings.

[teddyhcraig]

The only reason that he can fool so many, into thinking that this is in the Bible, is due to the fact that so many people in this last church age are biblically illiterate and ignorant. I doubt he tells people to study the word of God, and pray, and make sure what he's telling them is actually true; because, if he did and they did that, his congregation would shrivel to the size of a raisin! But he won't, and most of them in his congregation won't, for the word shows they won't! Amen, and amen.

[barbieray98]

Q. What does the Bible mean when it speaks of someone having a REPROBATE mind? A. "They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate." (Titus 1:16

[barbieray98]

Good Job Keith. God bless you for putting the truth out there. Please people, Don't admire and follow Mr. Osteen. Ask God you so show you the truth about these kinds of Ministers. Read and study your Bibles. This is one of things Jesus warned about more than any other. Why, Because he knew that people would be really be looking for comfort in the last days and would flock to the ones that would "TICKLE THEIR EARS"

[barbieray98]

. For the time will come when people will not tolerate healthy doctrine, but with itching ears will surround themselves with teachers who cater to their people's own desires.2 Timothy 4:3. And REMEMBER: .Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:Matthew 7:13

[AugmentedMinor]

Repent Joel, repent of this false teaching and beg God for forgiveness.

[salmagnum]

Good work again Keith, keep strong in the faith, God is our defense and refuge.

[trinityzsoul]

Osteen us a fraud a fake and infiltrator of the church to demoralize and re train the christian thinkng to something else in line with NWO

[the4O4man]

Great documentary !

[theveryelect24]

This is excellent. I didn't know you were working on this. I like Washer's commentary on Osteen. He says that Osteen's audiences are not necessarily victims of Osteen the way some think, but rather he is God's judgment upon them for rejecting Christ and seeking riches. The Lord is giving people exactly what they want and they will one day regret it. Some tough love is greatly needed in the church today.

[belong2christ1]

@theveryelect24 so are u saying GOD is condeming osteens church? leave that 2 GOD 2 decide my friend

[KeithTruth]

@belong2christ1 anyone who has ever read the Bible knows Osteen's false church is under strict condemnation. The Scripture's plainly speak it in the verses I give in the videos.

[belong2christ1]

@KeithTruth amen i see that

[krononomikon]

@KeithTruth yeah - it's like how, if you are given much, much is required from you. Also how Sodom and Gomorrah won't be punished as much as the Pharisees in judgement, and how the Apostle says of teachers, "knowing this, that we will receive the greater condemnation." The thing is, when you point out others' errors and do that thing yourself, you make a spectacle of yourself that you know you're doing wrong and act as though you could forsake it if you wanted to, but also make yourself knowle

[krononomikon]

@krononomikon ...knowledgable, which is why starting from 1 Cor. 8, Paul says, "whoever thinks he knows something doesn't yet know as he ought to know", and the whole matter is also summed up in 2 Peter 2: "It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them."

Also, in Proverbs 26:12, "Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him."

[BeachFizzle]

Jesus save us from the demons within ourselves that have been on this earth since the rebellions. Am I the only one who noticed Joel's eyes in the opening scene. That is not "reptilian shapeshifters" from the David Icke school of thought, that is simply demonic manifestation and a reflection of what truly guides his soul. Rather horrific.

[Wahrheit777Unbedingt]

Thumbs up!



[seppselm]

great videos but whats the name of the song starting at 10:31 please ?

[sidthemyth]

if the eye is healthy the whole body will be healthy

thx for the series

[vicambulatorious]

Keith, about the "Secret" - did you notice at the end of the video there is an astrophysicist (I believe, used as an expert voice), to say that there is no God that is going to judge you?

[DeeServantOfGod]

Wonderful job Keith! I hate the law of attraction. when i first saw it, only the first 10 or 15 minutes of it(by sisters request) my blood boiled! It enraged me. whats worse, my mom and sister were buying in on that and believing it! i cutt it off and refused to watch the rest.

[TheGenuineChristian]

Thanks for uploading this Keith. =)

[wingnut4427]

The guy states "Thought's become things" @ 14.27 .. OK the New agers always come up with the most absurd analogies in a vain attempt to debunk Christianity. So I propose this ! If your Law of attraction is based on the very principal that "Thoughts become things" then focus on sprouting wings like an angel & really want it ! If you can do so & show it on live television for the world then I'll consider your core belief .. but if not.. Ohh well. You are a bunch of nut jobs. Sound fair ?

[wingnut4427]

I mean.. it shouldn't be too hard for the believer .. right ? "Thoughts become things " prove it ! I am calling you people out ! Prove it with that suggestion. I mean.. Who wouldn't want wings ? I would love to have them.. Prove it ! :)

[KeithTruth]

@wingnut4427 It does work, if people have their minds on earthly things long enough, God will give them over to a reprobate debased mind and then give them their desires as a punishment to further show they are goats not sheep solidifying their acceptance of error.

[wingnut4427]

@KeithTruth a sharp & clear view You have My friend :) God bless You.

[wingnut4427]

You are Awesome Keith ! That's what I'm judging :)

[popomp1]

@KeithTruth THANKS YOU KEITH I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR JOEL OSTEEN !!!!!! I LIVE IN HOUSTON if that explains why I need this video

[Dubwise78]

What is it with Televangelists hair? lol, You can judge a man by his hair cut - all these televangelsits are dodgy.

[sammyrocksu]

where do i find the rest of the joel osteen vids i can only find 1/2?

[LarsTheHonest]

@sammyrocksu KeithForTruth is currently uploading the other parts. Part 2 is available now, and the other parts are coming soon.

[hotties3v3n]

the fact the his tag is"christless christianity"says it all.sorry but olsteen really gets on my nerves.

[aveyowyns]

What sucks is that the 'secret' is only half true and identifies with everyone some point in their life (like crappy astrological fortunes in the news paper), which is probably what makes it so accepted. It is true that your attitude and mindset effect your life/future - the only problem is that Joel presents THAT as the Gospels and not merely as a fundemental truth that people already knew they knew.

[LarsTheHonest]

I don't know alot about Joel Osteen, and I hope that Osteen's critics aren't critiqueing him because of the fact that he's popular. Its not a sin to be popular.

But from what I've heard of Osteen, he is indeed a man-centered false preacher. But I can't really judge him for anything, because the few things I know about Osteen, has been shared to me through critics, thats actually how I got to know about him. But again, it seems like he is a false preacher.

[ActsChurchFire]

@LarsTheHonest When I heard him say Christ isn't the only way that pretty much done it for me.

[LarsTheHonest]

@ActsChurchFire Do you know of any youtube video where he says that? So I can actually know its true and not just some rumor.

[KeithTruth]

@LarsTheHonest That clip of him denying the exclusivity of Christ is in this presentation. But no, I am not critiquing him because of his popularity, but because of his false teachings and how he became popular by presenting a false message that unregenerate unsaved people like.

[ActsChurchFire]

@LarsTheHonest 'Joel Osteen Says Jesus Christ is Not the Only Way ' search that.

[jmcclellan54321]

@LORDMCHUGH On the contrary, it is going on in Africa as well, many Africans are being deceived into following the likes of Benny Hinn and Olsteen in search of a blessing from the Lord in exchange for their tithes. It is far worse in that most of Africa is very poor compared to the U.S. It truly is happening all over the world, a massive deception by these false teachers.

[TheExodus17]

These Mega Churches are no good and professing Christians should have nothing to do with them.

[MrSermon7]

Avoid him greatly.

[MaMiKiKeYu]

Avoid Joel Osteen.
